In this cohort on the book of Revelation, Benjamin Gladd and G. K. Beale will introduce lay people, students, teachers, and pastors to understanding and applying Revelation. It’s no secret the last book of the Bible is the most debated within the church. Should we interpret the book literally or symbolically? For example, are the locusts of Revelation 9 Apache helicopters or do the locusts refer to demons that torment people spiritually and psychologically? Does the book address events that are in the past, present, or future? Is it all three? Participants will learn how to identify the Old Testament symbols and themes in Revelation and then see how these connections relate to Christ and God’s plan of redemption.
John writes to the seven churches of Asia Minor at the end of the first century to remind them of their position in Christ. His victory is their victory. The faith of believers must not shrink in the face of adversity since the sovereign hand of God governs the course of history. God promises to punish the wicked, deliver the righteous, and receive all glory and honor.
Standing on the shoulders of the prophets Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zechariah, the apostle John exhorts the church in the present and predicts what will befall God’s people in the future. Revelation blends three different kinds of writing—apocalyptic, prophecy, and epistle. This explains why the book communicates primarily through symbolism and addresses the needs of the church as it navigates the temptations of the world between the two comings of Christ.

This lesson will focus on the introductory features of the book (authorship, dating, etc.) and the four major ways to interpret the book (Preterist, Historicist, Futurist, and Redemptive-Historical Idealist). It will also cover how Revelation itself informs the reader how to interpret the book.
Reading: Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, pgs. 1-34
Instructor: G. K. Beale
This discussion continues the previous one and then focuses on how Revelation 1 sets the stage for the remainder of the book and how the seven letters of Revelation 2–3 are connected to the whole of Revelation.
Reading: Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, pgs. 35-95
Instructor: G. K. Beale
When Jesus ascended to heaven after his resurrection, he sat down on the Father’s throne. Christ’s life, death, and resurrection uniquely qualify him to execute the seals, trumpets, and bowls. We will learn that John did not arrange these three judgments chronologically but topically.
Readings: Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, pgs. 96-198
Instructor: Benjamin Gladd
Revelation Chapters 10–16 (3:00-4:30pm EST on 10/2)
This lesson examines the interlude of chs. 10–11, the seven visions of conflict between Satan and the church, and the seven bowl judgments.
Readings: Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, pgs. 198-352
Instructor: Benjamin Gladd
We will discuss the three chapters of Babylon’s demise in chs. 17-19. This discussion will also evaluate the three major view of the millennial kingdom.
Readings: Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, pgs. 353-462
Instructor: Benjamin Gladd
The book of Revelation ends where the Bible begins. The Bible opens with God creating cosmos, and it ends with him creating a new cosmos. In the new creation, though, the possibility of sin won’t exist, and God will dwell with humanity in his fullness.
